Research Permits

Project permits from applicable borough, state and federal agencies are required and must be obtained by the project leader prior to conducting research at the Station. The Institute of Arctic Biology cannot jeopardize the authorization for the station site by allowing research to proceed in the absence of the required permits. All principal investigators must submit copies of permits to the TFS Logistics Office before they or their co-workers conduct research at the station.

Does your project intend to work on lands owned by the Bureau of Land Management and/or use a snowmachine to support your work?

Will your project involve vertebrates?

All activities involving live vertebrates must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) from the institution awarded the research grant. You must provide a copy of the approved IACUC protocol and the approval letter. If you need to use the Toolik Field Station Animal Facility you also need approval from the University of Alaska Fairbanks IACUC. Please contact the UAF IACUC Administrator for assistance:
